DAVAO CITY (PIA) An officer of the
Department of Social Welfare and Development assured that Davao Region has
enough contingency fund for any calamity.
Priscilla Razon, director of the DSWD 11 and
vice chair for disaster response of the Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Council 11 said that currently an amount at P1.4Billion is on
standby to be used once a destructive storm or an earthquake hits Region 11.
She said the DSWD 11 has been pre-positioning
all the relief goods for any eventuality.
Razon said that a series of trainings has been
conducted for all Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Porgram implementors on disaster
response.
“The training has been going on since two weeks
ago. Another one week training is slated at Eden in Toril where 628
implementors in the whole region are undergoing training on disaster response,
one week per province,” she said.
Razon also shared that Davao Region has been
assigned to augment the government response on the East quadrant of Metro
Manila once the Marikina fault shakes, side by side with Region II.
She said different regions were already given
their assignments on the East, West and North of Metro Manila. (PIA 11-Joey Sem
